A rare occurrence took place on Wednesday, Nov. 11, as both the American League and National League crowned unanimous Cy Young Award winners.

Cam Schlittler took care of business in the AL while Jacob Misiorowski held down the NL.

When it comes to the Los Angeles Dodgers, former Cy Young winner Tarik Skubal wasn't even featured in the voting.

LA went for broke to acquire him at the trade deadline, and in the end it just resulted in them being swept in the National League Championship Series.

For a team that won back-to-back World Series prior to that point, to say it was a tough pill to swallow would be an understatement.

Skubal may not return to the Dodgers in 2027, but this team at least knows it'll have Yoshinobu Yamamoto around.

Yamamoto wasn't one of the three Cy Young Award finalists, but he ended up with 63 points which was the fourth most on the ballot.

Misiorowski led the way with his 210 points, courtesy of 30 first-place votes. For reference, Yamamoto received a pair of second-place votes, seven third-place votes, 14 fourth-place votes, and then six fifth-place votes.

Despite his season ending on a horrific 2.2-inning outing, Yamamoto was recognized in the Cy Young ballot as it's a regular season award.

The 28-year-old threw seven stellar innings prior to his NLCS Game 2 disaster, but it's not like the Dodgers are going to give up on Yamamoto because of that start.

Yamamoto finished the year 14-9 with an ERA that was the fifth best in all of baseball (2.53). His 0.87 WHIP was second, only behind Misiorowski, and he sported a career-high 5.9 WAR.

Coming off a year where he was a 5.0 WAR player, it seemed like that was going to be hard to top. In two fewer starts, Yamamoto ended up throwing 185.0 innings, a number that was slightly above the 173.2 he threw in 2025.

He ended up being one of three players to receive a second place vote, and then he finished second in terms of third-and-fifth place votes and dominated the fourth place section.

Yamamoto only finished 35 points fewer than finalist Sale, meaning he was just 36 points shy of Sanchez as those two finished with 98 and 99 points, respecitvely.

In the 2026 Cy Young ballot, Yamamoto had more points than Jesus Luzardo, Mason Miller, and Eduardo Rodriguez combined, so that goes to show how wide of a gap there truly is between the top pitchers in the league and everyone else.
